The fox demon was startled when she saw the man blocking her way.
They are just mortals!
But he possesses a powerful strength!
He's possessed!
Is this person a friend or foe?
When Ji Lü raised his hand, the fox demon's heart clenched, worried that something might happen to Jiang Yuan.
Although it grew a tail and transformed back into human form, it was only with the help of the King of Hell that it was able to do so; at this moment, it was of no help whatsoever.
However--
"Waaah, I've gone through so much trouble to find Lord Yama. I thought he would be happy to see me, but I never expected... Lord Yama would be filled with murderous intent the moment he saw me."
"Waaaah, has the King of Hell forgotten his old servant because he has new people by his side?"
A chiseled face came into view of Jiang Yuan. The features were handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He looked young, but he was wearing an old-fashioned Tang suit.
His figure was transparent, and could not be touched by five fingers.
He looked distressed and pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere, pretending to wipe the corner of his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Lü collapsed to the ground.
"Entering the mortal body will not only taint them with impurities, but will also affect their fortune in the short term. Even more seriously... they will be entangled in karma."
"As a member of the underworld, you should know the consequences."
Jiang Yuan said coldly.
Looking into those dark, deep eyes, the man in front of him became a little more obedient.
"What you say is true, sir. However, the situation is urgent, and this godforsaken place is also protected by a formation. Therefore, I have no choice but to use the worst possible strategy: to enter the formation in the body of a mortal."
"Otherwise, if that vengeful ghost really gets away, it will be the human world that suffers."
"If I had known you were here, my lord, I would not only have refrained from taking human form, but I would have also applauded and cheered for you!"
"Your movements just now were so fluid and graceful, I admire you greatly."
The man was like a chatterbox, talking on and on.
Fox Demon: ...
It's certain that he is a friend.
It's also safe to say he's a sycophant.
"Given a name? You little fox demon are really lucky." After saying that, the man glanced at the fox demon who had slumped to the side and said in surprise.
The words "Guard your heart" are printed on its arm.
He knew that word well.
It's Little Yama's handwriting.
The fox demon looked at the man with a puzzled expression.
The man introduced himself, "I am a night wanderer."
The fox demon was surprised, seemingly not expecting the Night Wanderer to be so young.
Or is it that he only looks young, but is actually several hundred or even a thousand years old?
"It just so happens that the underworld messengers on the road to the Yellow Springs were injured by a vengeful ghost. You should go and take his place to prevent panic caused by the lack of messengers to guide people across the underworld," Ye You said.
The fox demon looked at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan glanced at Ye You and nodded to the fox demon.
Seeing this, a resolute glint flashed in the fox demon's eyes, and he cupped his hands, saying, "Yes, Your subordinate obeys."
As soon as she finished speaking, the fox demon disappeared from Jiang Yuan's sight.
Having received a name from Yama, one can travel to the underworld at any time.
Of course, going to the underworld is easy, but getting out requires approval at every level.
If a messenger from the underworld comes to the mortal world without approval, he will be dismissed and thrown into the eighteenth level of hell.
Seeing the fox demon leave, Ye You finally stopped laughing.
"My lord, could you sever my karmic ties with him?" Ye You turned around, glanced at Ji Lü who was lying unconscious on the ground, and then looked at Jiang Yuan, making his request.
Looking at the face before her that bore a striking resemblance to Ji Lü, Jiang Yuan twirled her judge's pen, her thin lips parting slightly, "You, Young Master Xu, begged me, and now your first words are to sever your ties with him. You and him..."
"Your natal chart can see both the past and the future, so how could you not know the relationship between me and him?" Ye You said calmly, his eyes narrowed.
“The Ji family only has this one bloodline left. If something happens to him, they will probably cry again,” Ye You continued.
He entered his body in a moment of desperation. If he were to become entangled in karma and connected to him, the underworld, he would surely face misfortune in the future.
It is highly likely that he will encounter things or events that he should not have encountered or seen because of him.
Only by severing the cause and effect can he be free from obstacles and find peace.
As for why he didn't do it himself, it was because he couldn't bear to, and couldn't bring himself to do it, and...
He is inexperienced.
But he also knew that he couldn't involve the Ji family or his little crybaby brother.
Therefore, only by having Jiang Yuan sever the ties can they be completely severed.
“I can agree to that, but… you have to tell me what exactly happened in the underworld?” Jiang Yuan said, her voice turning colder when she mentioned the underworld.
"Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. There are judges in the underworld, so nothing will happen." A hint of surprise flashed across Ye You's eyes, surprised by Jiang Yuan's keen insight, but it disappeared within seconds.
He squinted, like a cunning fox.
“Since you’re not telling the truth, you’ll have to decide the cause and effect with him yourself. There’s nothing I can do about it,” Jiang Yuan shrugged.
"How can you be so sure that something has happened in the underworld, sir?" Night Wanderer asked.
Jiang Yuan rolled her eyes at the night stroll.
“If something hadn’t happened in the underworld, why would they have sent you to kill the thousand-year-old vengeful ghost?” Jiang Yuan emphasized the word when she mentioned the thousand-year-old vengeful ghost.
He's only been in the underworld for five years, and his position as a night patroller wasn't based on his own abilities, but rather...
He's eloquent and a nouveau riche!
For example, when she occasionally neglects to deal with the trivial matters of the underworld and goes for a stroll in the eighteenth level of hell, the judge will whisper a bunch of things in her ear, telling her not to neglect her duties, to do her job well, and not to waste time on playing.
Night tours are different.
He would flatter, saying that the King of Hell had condescended to personally inspect the place, which showed that the King of Hell valued this place and cared about his subordinates.
She would occasionally play pranks on the underworld officials, but the judge would tell her that she was the King of Hell and should not act so arbitrarily.
